We learnt a lot this week through our studies and research around
NAIDOC week.
NAIDOC week.
One thing that sticks in my mind is the symbolic meaning behind the flags.
It is something that I found interesting so I though I would share.
Aboriginal Flag
Black: represents the people
Yellow: is the sun and protector of life
Red: represents the earth and the spiritual relation to the people
Torres Strait Islands Flag
Green: Represents the land
Blue: Represents the sea
White: Represents peace
Black: Represents the Indigenous people
The dhari (headdress): represents Torres Strait Island people
Five pointed star: represents the 5 major Island groups.
The star also represents navigation, as a symbol of the seafaring culture of the Torres Strait.
What did you do to celebrate NAIDOC week?
